Chapter 123 What a President Should Look Like (77)
Metrodrod has gradually lost attention as Yusei Company has launched new promotions.
Half a month after Metrodrod was released, Takeyusei finally decided to release the Super Nintendo SFC.
Of course, this game console definitely needs some preheating, and it cannot be released directly, otherwise it will not be very exciting.
First of all, it is the promotion channel from Tokyo TV.
The special episode of the video game challenge program team, a live TV face-to-face meeting from Yusei Company, will also be broadcast live on the Internet.
This time, Yusei Company will announce its own big move, which is a brand new game console, but what it looks like, what kind of performance it has, and how much it will sell for will all be announced in the face-to-face meeting.
The rhythm of releasing a first-party game every month is temporarily suspended for one month to make way for this new game console.
When Su Rui Electronics learned about this, Hayakawa Ueto knew that Yusei's big move was finally coming.
Before that, he learned about Yusei's new game console through his own connections.
Its performance should be a complete 16-bit machine performance, which is slightly stronger than their current PN-type game console, but it is also limited.
Previously, due to the performance of the game console, the Famicom and PN still had some disadvantages in the competition.
But after the release of the new game console, this disadvantage will be completely eliminated, and the PN game console will have no advantage.
Hayakawa Ueto did not hesitate and decided to respond immediately.
First, the game screen of the game that has been developed for a long time: Sun Knight 2 was released.
Then two other games that have been prepared for a long time were released.
One of them is a racing game, and the other is a baseball game with better graphics and better game quality, and it is also a baseball game officially authorized by the Koshien Baseball League.
Sun Knight 2 will be officially released in half a month, just one day before the official announcement of SFC, which is obviously aimed at the release of SFC.
This time, in order to make this game, the best composer at the moment was specially hired to compose an exclusive theme song for it, and there is also the strong support of well-known painters, as well as the help of the original author in plot creation.
With the connections and financial resources of Suri Electronics, it is really a piece of cake to deal with such things.
As for the other two games, they will be released ten days and twenty days after the release of Sun Knight.
It is obvious that Hayakawa Ueto has his own ambitions in making these two games.
Baseball games have been proven to be the most popular sports games, followed by racing games.
The reason why racing games are ranked second is that similar works have appeared in recent TV dramas and animations, and the response has been very good, making racing, which was not very popular, a sport that the Japanese people pay attention to.
In addition, Japan itself has a very popular car culture, and several world-renowned car manufacturers are Japanese, so it seems natural that they are popular.
In addition, Surui Electronics also announced a steering wheel handle specifically for racing games, which is also very attractive.
As soon as the three games were announced, they really attracted a lot of people's attention and took away some of the attention of Youxing Company's publicity.
Now Surui Electronics' PN game console has a certain audience in the process of continuous struggle.
Its total sales have reached nearly 400,000 units.
Compared with the total sales of more than 2 million units of the red and white machine, it is naturally incomparable, but it also occupies a small part of the market.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to attract some companies to make games for it.
In the early days, PN was like collecting garbage, and it was indeed quite effective to collect all the games that were eliminated from the red and white machines. It really relied on this method to retain some players.
This is now the biggest counterattack that Hayakawa Ueto can make against Yusei.
Then, Hayakawa Ueto also arranged engineers to work overtime to develop higher-performance game consoles as quickly as possible.
In terms of the quality of electronic games, Hayakawa Ueto believes that he is indeed not comparable to Yusei.
But they can attract people with better performance and better pictures.
This is also one of the ways to success.
This is also what Surui Electronics was best at when competing in other industries before.
If you can't beat anything, at least you have to surpass it in performance.
With Surui Electronics' own engineering development capabilities, this is of course not a problem. The only thing to worry about may be the cost of the game console.
If the cost is too high, it will also exclude players.
In addition to Surui Electronics, other game manufacturers are more like spectators.
They quietly watched the two game console companies compete, and then secretly made a choice.
Youxing can make more money, but Surui Electronics can offer more generous treatment.
Next, it depends on how much advantage Youxing will gain in this round of competition.
On the other side of the game industry, Wids, who specializes in the arcade field, is very calm and plays his own games as always.
In the arcade field, because Youxing has no involvement, they live quite comfortably.
He started early and quickly seized a lot of the arcade game market, which gave him a great advantage.
Recently, he even received a huge amount of financing and has begun to plan to expand the arcade production line and the frequency of game development.
The entire Japanese game industry seems to be divided into three parts.
Among them, Su Rui Electronics is slowly rising, and Yuxing Company has always maintained its dominant position, but there are always people who are eager to find a way to kill this overlord, so that they can take over and seize the electronic game market.
At the headquarters of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, several company executives are participating in an emergency meeting.
Take Yuxing told everyone his plan.
He wanted to host a face-to-face meeting in person.
In his previous life, Nintendo liked to let its president host the meeting, and Take Yuxing naturally wanted to experience it.
Speaking of which, he has never really been on TV.
Natsume Yasutaka asked seriously: "President, have you really decided to host the face-to-face meeting in person?"
Take Yuxing nodded: "Well, it is a new breakthrough for our company. The release of a new game console is worth my personal announcement."
It is very ceremonial to personally announce a new game console.
Only when he comes to this world can he experience it. He didn't even have this opportunity in his previous life.
Now that he has this opportunity, Take Yuxing doesn't want to miss it.
"Then we should change our strategy. If the president is in charge, we must be more formal."
"Why should we be more formal?" Takeyusei was puzzled.
Natsume Yasutaka explained: "President, you are usually more casual in the company, and we are all used to this atmosphere, which is good, but I think you should maintain a serious and formal image in front of the public. This is what a president should look like."
